Minneapolis Stat: A prominent Da-
kota poiitigian VINO ls s JournIng in
town and doing the grand TO tns pres.-
dent remarked between the willis OF d
Dakota havana IN the u OF the
West This morning:
A good deal OF criticism has been pro-
nouDced against Church On the Yunk-
ton trustee embrogiio, and q good deal
of the criticism Was we'll founded. The
iaot Is Church is q mighty good fellow
bat he Is too fresh. He rushed into the
Ysnkton business like a mad bull In u
china shop. He tnoughs he had the
whole asyium by the seat of the panta-
looms and the first thing he knew his
hold slipped. He intended ell right in
the matter INIT then yen know what Ben
Wade said about good Intentions
l"Heli is paved with them" Well,
Onuroh thought he had the trustees
under his thumb, but he hadn't, and
that 10 all there 10 to it. 1t made him
mad to think he had made q bull OF 1t,
and all this smoke about crookedness,
rascality, boodleiem and dishonesty,
comes from that little circumstance. No,
it will not hurt Church in the long run.
He Is too strong and this little expe-
rience will make him ell the more care
full and q better governor In the future.
WHOLLY UNAUTHORIZED.
Flandrau Enterprise: The Yankton
insane asylnm matter grows more mixed
IS time passes. Gov. Church has now
appointed o new board of trustees. II
is believed that his, action in so doing ia
wholly unauthorized by law. It is,
however, said that Auditor Ward will re-
fuse to honor warrants drawn by the old
board. Truly the insane people of De-
kota are in al unfortunate predicament.
The members of the old board would, il
is said, willingly give way to the new,
were it not that such action on their
part would be a practical admission of
the truth of the charges made against
them by Gov Church. The result will
time the asylum is crowded beyond its
capacity and the 100000 appropriated
by the territory and for which the terri
tory is paying l~ntereat is bringing the
public no benefit, and it is SO late in the
season now that the new building can
not be erected before next year ever if
the board we're adjusted at once,
